ALL NOVEL Chapter 10
More than ten miles outside Xia Pi City,
Cao Jian and his men were stationed in the mountains to recuperate.
After hearing the latest battle situation reported by the scouts, they were all excited!
Xiahou Dun, the impatient commander, was even more excited:
"Haha! That's great!
Unexpectedly, everything turned out just as the Second Young Master and the Military Advisor had predicted.
The troops under Lu Bu's command have already begun to attack Xiaopei!
This is going to be exciting!
Hahaha……"
Deputy General Xu Huang nodded repeatedly, secretly amazed:
"The Second Young Master is really a genius! He is probably not inferior to the Lord in commanding troops!"
Le Jin followed behind Cao Jian silently: a smile flashed across his usually serious face at this moment.
Looking at the young Second Young Master of the Cao family whom he was ordered to protect, he was not very happy at first, thinking that he was unlearned and incompetent. After just a few days of contact, he found that he was actually very wise and resourceful, and he was admired by everyone. He suddenly felt a sense of honor in his heart:
"The Second Young Master is truly a god!
No wonder even a genius like the military advisor praised him highly before!
It is such an honor to be ordered to protect him.……"
Everyone was praising him.
Xiahou Dun couldn't hold back any more:
"Second Master, Military Advisor!
Now that they have started fighting, can we start to act now?
If we act too late, it will be troublesome if Xiaopei is occupied by those guys under Lu Bu's command!"
As soon as these words came out, many soldiers who were waiting to make contributions quickly echoed loudly.
Cao Jian smiled and shook his head:
"No hurry! Let them continue fighting for a while!
Although the war seems fierce now, I believe it will not end soon.
Liu Bei is a man of great talent and popular with the people. Moreover, Xiaopei is his only place to stay now, and his soldiers will definitely fight to the death to defend the city. In addition, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both brave and will not be defeated easily.……"
"So, Uncle Yuan Rang, please be patient!
It’s best to wait until they are both defeated, especially when the city is breached, before you take action!"
After hearing this, Xiahou Dun was confused again:
"This... it's fine to wait until they are both defeated!
But why do we have to wait until the city is breached before we can take action?"
Cao Jian smiled indifferently.
The mysterious look made Xiahou Dun almost angry.
Guo Jia almost laughed when he saw this, and hurriedly helped to explain:
"Haha! General Xiahou, don't worry!
The reason, you have already told me half of it!"
"Liu Bei is not willing to be inferior to others. Although he is forced to cooperate with us to expel Lu Bu, everything is only temporary. If we give him a chance to become bigger, he will become a vassal in the future, and even a powerful opponent of the lord!"
"Just imagine, if we enter the city to rescue before the city is captured, then Xiaopei will still belong to him. Even if he nominally surrenders to the lord, it will not be easy for us to take Xiaopei by force after we take Xuzhou.
On the contrary, if we wait for Xiaopei to be captured by Gao Shun, especially when Liu Bei and others are fleeing, then we will join the battle? Then at that time, we can take over Xiaopei naturally! This way, people will not gossip about it, isn’t it wonderful?"
After hearing this, Xiahou Dun suddenly realized:
"Hahaha! So this is the plan?
Great! Really great!
Now I finally understand, haha……"
Xu Huang, Le Jin and other generals who were standing by also admired him secretly.
Seeing this, Cao Jian smiled meaningfully and said with a look of wanting to be beaten:
"Uncle Yuan Rang, this is not over yet!
In the plan between me and the military advisor, there is actually another consideration!"
He hasn't finished speaking yet!
Everyone was already shocked, and their eyes widened!
Everyone instantly became full of question marks:???
However, facing everyone's doubts, Cao Jian did not reveal the bottom line in public.
After all, this calculation is too insidious: if it falls into the ears of some"righteous people", it may be criticized!
So after a simple calculation, he decided to dismiss the left and right.
Only Guo Jia and Xiahou Dun were left.
At this time, he whispered to Xiahou Dun:
"Uncle Yuan Rang, this matter must not be publicized!
To be honest, the military advisor and I have secretly considered that
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both rare enemies in the world!
If we can get their assistance, then pacifying the world will be even easier! However, these two are only loyal to their sworn brother Liu Bei, so it is not easy to recruit them. What if Liu Bei is unfortunate enough to die in the siege?
At that time, Guan and Zhang will have no one to be loyal to; and we will help them in their time of need, and then help them to avenge and defeat the enemy.
In this way, perhaps it is possible to recruit them for our own use.……"
As soon as these words came out, Xiahou Dun was struck by lightning!
This straightforward and rough man was stunned by the shock!
It took a long time for him to come back to his senses from this unknown calculation.
At this moment, he finally understood why his brother wanted to train this nephew in front of him to be the future heir of the Cao family!
After feeling infinite emotion in his heart, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but sigh secretly:
"Who would have thought that the second son, Zixiong, was so cunning at such a young age?
It was unimaginable, simply unimaginable! It was really too scary!!
When Meng De was this age, he was far inferior to him!"
"Poor Liu Bei, the unfortunate victim, he was schemed against so badly.……"
